@TracyButlerABC7 … do you have any idea how much you lean on your “yeah” verbal crutch? Yeah, it’s annoying. Yeah, you’re supposed to be a professional. Yeah, present like a professional. Yeah, please stop.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@CHSN__ PLEASE stop changing the in-game graphics during White Sox games! It’s not cute, it’s not clever, it doesn’t make the game more special… It’s freaking annoying to try to have to find the information that you’re used to seeing in a particular place!

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@JaisollWX … my God, you are just awful! PLEASE stop using the word PRETTY! I’d say that you are PRETTY awful, but you have graduated WAY beyond that! Listen to yourself!

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@ChristianPiekos WHERE ARE YOU?!!!!

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@GioBenitez “Hey, George!” “Hey, Robin!” “Hey, Michael!” “Hey, Whit!” Hey, Gio! You are truly terrible!

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@JaisollWX In the name of any real or perceived journalistic God, PLEASE stop incessantly using the phrase “Pretty nice day!” Review recordings of your segments!

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@GioBenitez In the name of any real or perceived journalistic God, PLEASE stop beginning your reports with the word “Hey!”

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@TracyButlerABC7 … a FIVE “yeah” segment with three in ten seconds! Nicely done!

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@TracyButlerABC7 … yeah.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@selinawangtv … HEY, Selina! How about starting ONE… JUST ONE report without saying “HEY!” You’re not talking to the one desk anchor that introduces you, you’re talking to US. So amateurish and unprofessional.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@gordonbeckham I think that the term you are looking for is a kinesthetic sense… knowing where you are at in the space around you.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@GioBenitez HEY, Gio! Why don’t you TRY to start a report without saying “HEY!?” Do you ever listen to yourself or review a replay of your reports?Apparently, you never took a course in public speaking.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@JaisollWX … OK, can you PLEASE stop with “toasty?!” Like a dog with a bone.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@GMA … you guys are the worst. Ex NBA star? How many “NBA stars” play for EIGHT different NBA teams?! Not to mention the four Italian or international teams that he’s also played for?! You hacks will do anything to try to “sell” a story.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@TracyButlerABC7 … “although” instead of “HOW EV ER.” Nicely done!

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@TracyButlerABC7 HOW EV ER.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@TracyButlerABC7 … yeah… yeah… yeah.

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@TracyButlerABC7 … wow! The “yeahs” are pouring out today!

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@TracyButlerABC7 … yeah…

[M. Jacob “Doc” Mathius @docmathius]

@GMA “We’ve got a lot to get to this morning.” Of course you do, you tell us that EVERY morning. And it took less than seven minutes for the first “thank you for that.” Does anyone there even care about the performance of their presenters?
